McGregord Fund Due 2/22/26

We’re excited to announce a new funding opportunity for Detroit organizations working on the frontlines of food access!

Thanks to the generous support of The McGregor Fund, CDAD is launching a Mini-Grant Opportunity for Emergency Food Assistance to support innovative, community-rooted responses to food insecurity across Detroit neighborhoods.

As rising food costs and economic instability continue to impact residents, trusted neighborhood organizations continue to step in with food distribution, gift cards, community meals, partnerships with local farms, and other creative solutions. This mini-grant is designed to strengthen and expand that work.
